Ethiopian, Upper East Side, Manhattan
TJ and I forgot the camera. We had to take these pictures with his i-phone and in the low light, it would be difficult for them to have turned out less descriptive and true to life. We enjoyed the experience and the food was very tasty making us want to explore more ethiopian food in the future. The place seems to be family owned. The waitresses looked like they were from Ethiopia and had a very gentle way about them.
We shared the sampler platter for two which is our favorite way to try out a new place.
There were 4 dishes containing some sort of meat: one chicken, two lamb and one beef
(the meat dishes all came in different thick, spicy sauces...yummy)
and 3 veggie dishes: greens, cabbage and lentils.
You eat with your hands pulling little pieces of the "bread" which is something
between a pancake and a crepe and is made from slightly fermented flour (wheat?)
Rickshaw Dumpling Bar, Chelsea, Manhattan
In this case I brought the camera but forgot to take pictures of our food until it was all eaten. I managed to find some advertisement photos that looked pretty similar to what we ate. This place is a fast food type joint. It was delicious and pretty cheap. I hope we make it back there.
We got two Rickshaw regulars: chicken and thai basil dumplings with peanut sate noodle soup and shrimp dumplings with chili-soy noodle soup. Both dumplings were good but I really like the chicken and thai basil ones the best. Both soups were good. The chili-soy was pretty spicy. I also tried the broth from the miso and clear soups as we were there with friends but liked our soups the best.
